U.S. Embassy Tells Americans in London: ‘Keep a Low Profile’ for Trump Visit

The U. S. Embassy in the United Kingdom released a warning on Tuesday in anticipation of President Trump’s visit to London, asking Americans to “keep a low profile” while the president remains overseas. “Numerous demonstrations are being planned for July 12 to 14, 2018, surrounding the visit of the President of the United States to the United Kingdom,” the statement said. “The majority of the demonstrations will be focused in central London on July 13, with other events planned for July 12 and 14. Several of the events are expected to attract large crowds and there will be road closures in connection with those events.” The warning tells Americans to be aware of surroundings, exercise caution “if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings that may become violent,” and to monitor local media for updates.
